Chapter 5: Strange Calls
While at the car wash, I received a strange phone call.
I fed it a lot, but the other party didn't say anything.
After hanging up, I remembered to say a few words to the car washer. The main thing is that the smell in the car is very bad, and it is estimated that it is difficult to remove the sour smell just by washing it, and it may be necessary to deodorize the whole vehicle.
I was negotiating the price with the owner of the car wash when the phone call came again.
"Hey, who are you, why don't you keep making a sound?" I asked.
"I'm ......," a girl's voice said.
"I'm Xiaoyong's girlfriend."
"Huh? What are you Xiaoyong?! "I thought I had misheard.
"Female... Friend... Friend. The other party said word by word.
"Oh, what about you...... What are you looking for me? I replied as I thought to myself: Why haven't I heard this kid talk about having a girlfriend?
"I'd like to meet you." The other party's tone seemed to gradually become firm.
"Ask me to meet? Why ......"
"I'm on the top floor of the Tianyue Mansion now, if you have time, come over now!" The other party's tone was crisp.
"If you don't come, you will do it at your own risk!!" She dropped the sentence, made a loud noise, and hung up the phone.
I was dizzy.
Rooftop? You're not jumping off a building, are you? At your own risk, mom, it's my business, if you want to jump, you also go to find Xiaoyong, what are you looking for me for?! I thought to myself.
I feel a little inexplicable again, why did a girl suddenly pop up, and said that it was Xiaoyong's girlfriend, alas, could it be that this kid lied to me? He's a merry man?
Forget it, forget it, don't bother with these birds. The smell in this car is still there. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I took out a cigarette and smoked it.
After sitting for a while, I suddenly thought, why don't you call this guy Xiaoyong? It's good to confirm it, but if it really kills someone, it's also a very troublesome thing.
I immediately called.
Xiao Yong didn't listen to the phone.
After another call, there was still no answer.
I'm starting to faint a little ominous omen. Tianyue Building has more than 30 floors, and if you jump off the top floor, you can pay it back. Let's just go and have a look.
It takes several hours for the whole vehicle to deodorize. I walked over and told the boss: I'll come back later, and now I'm in a hurry to leave. The boss asked: It's already been done, what's so urgent, why don't you put the car here and take a taxi to run errands first?
"Lives matter! I'll go first, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
I drove the stinky car and went straight to the Tianyue Building.
When I arrived at the top floor, I rushed to the rooftop and was about to open the door, when suddenly a voice came out of my heart: Why are you in such a hurry? Even if it's your girlfriend, you don't have to be in such a hurry, you really don't understand. It may be that faint feeling just now that makes me feel uneasy. However, it's not that I've done anything wrong, and I'm not a fart. Alas, forget it, I don't want to think so much, Xiaoyong, you kid, the Suzhou shit you left by yourself, and you want me to wipe your ass!
When I opened the door, I was a little dumbfounded.
Not a single figure.
Not only that, but not even a bird.
Damn, isn't this fooling people? I suddenly felt angry. Standing on the rooftop, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, he took out a cigarette and smoked it.
Depressed, quite a depressing day.
This kind of prank will also play on my head, it's just ...... People like me usually have a high degree of vigilance against any sales, scams, transfers, etc., and no one has ever been able to play more than three tricks in front of me, and today, it was played like this by a phone call from a stinky girl. Alas, people, sometimes you just don't care too much, if you don't care about this kid Xiaoyong and don't care, then you won't be fooled.
After smoking, when I turned around and was about to go down, the general manager's office of the company called and said that the general manager was looking for me and asked me to go to him now to report the recent business situation.
It's a disaster. Damn it.
I said to the general manager's secretary that he was busy outside now, and he would be there in half an hour.
What is the general manager looking for me? If I am asked to report to the business alone, and I don't have it once in half a year, will there be something that is not very good?
The more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes.
While I was waiting for the elevator, the phone rang again.
"What are you calling for?!" I held back my anger.
"Why haven't you come yet? I'm on the top floor. Suddenly, the other party made a very strange sound.
"I'm going to the top floor, and there aren't a single bird! Are you a ghost? I shouted angrily.
"yes, I'm a ghost."
Yes? Suddenly, I had goosebumps all over my body. I thought to myself, this woman is really a freak, saying that she is a ghost in broad daylight, and she is still a female ghost. Scared the hell out of me.
"You're a ghost, and a ghost believes in you! I don't have time to play with you! I'm down now, and I have urgent business to do. I hung up the phone in a huff.
"Well, if you don't come, then I won't let you go." - When I was riding in the elevator, I received this message on my phone.
When I walked out of the main entrance of the building, I saw a large group of people in front of me, and the sound of the ambulance came from a distance, becoming more and more urgent, very harsh, and the screams of people were pierced into my head like a sharp needle, which made me suddenly feel dizzy, and my eyes were dark, and I almost collapsed in the doorway.
The police have asked me those questions dozens of times.
Why is the last call log in that girl's phone is me; Why the last message was sent to me; Why did I show up on the rooftop of the Tenyue Building at that time, and there was a cigarette butt I threw down?
My head felt like it was going to crack, and it hurt to death.
I didn't know how to answer, I told them all the facts I knew, not a word was missing, but none of the policemen believed me.
That's it, I stayed in that dimly lit house all the time.
I don't know how long it took for an older policeman to walk in and hand me a cigarette. He didn't light a fire for me, but looked at me and said, "No smoking is allowed here, you can smell it."
The boss of your company came over just now, and they said some information, and the Xiaoyong you mentioned will come over to make a record later, and if the relevant situation is verified, you can go out.
I let out a long breath.
The woman's voice suddenly appeared in my mind, as if it was right in front of me, she had come to my side, looked at me faintly, and said: I will not let you go if I am a ghost!
I was terrified, and there was a dark shadow on the wall.
I immediately closed my eyes.
It wasn't until I smelled the familiar smell of smoke that I suddenly felt like I was back in the world.
How did all this happen?!
I replayed every scene that had happened in the morning from the car wash in my head. Even though I've told it N times, I always feel like I don't have a clue why this happened. A living person, just like that, jumped from a building more than 30 floors, and before he died, he sprinkled all his resentment on me.
I thought about it and thought about it, and my whole body almost collapsed, and finally, the headache hit again, and I didn't seem to have the strength to think, so I just lay on the table, like an octopus about to be sent into the kitchen, sticking to the tabletop.
After another unknown amount of time, the door opened, and I saw Xiaoyong.
"Brother, you've been wronged! I'm sorry for you!! ”
Xiaoyong came to me crying bitterly and knelt down with a plop.
……
It turned out that the dead girl was Xiaoyong's classmate, the classmate he told me about last time in elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
That girl has a deep love for Xiaoyong, even if she is not in the city after graduating from college, she has to take a car here to find Xiaoyong every once in a while.
I remember that Xiaoyong once said lightly to me at that time that she didn't have any feelings for her, so I didn't pay much attention to her all along.
With such deep affection, he couldn't get out of a dead end, which caused a tragedy like today. When I heard Xiaoyong say this, my heart felt a pang of grief.
"Then why is she looking for me? Why did you come to me before committing suicide, what did you have to do with me, and let me fall into this whirlpool of sorrow! I shouted angrily.
Xiaoyong cried and said to me, "Brother, I'm really sorry for you. It's my fault, it's all my fault! The person she doesn't let go of is not you, it's me! It's me!! ”
"She's been here many times, every time, always on Friday night, then for two days, and then back on Sunday afternoon, and every time she asks me to come out and meet, and I still meet her at first, have a meal, have a chat. Later, it was so annoying to her, she came, sent me a message, I didn't reply much, I didn't answer the phone much, she was very anxious, she couldn't find me, so she went around to inquire about my news, and even waited for me at the door of my unit, guarding at the door of my community, alas, she was really infatuated...... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have done this to her, I should have cut off her thoughts early, we are really not suitable, the relationship is really reluctant, but she just doesn't believe it, she thinks she can move me, she can move me, she can make me fall in love with her, she often says, for our sake, take pity on her. I said, love is not something that can be exchanged for pity, we have known each other for many years, but since I was a child, I only regarded you as a good friend and classmate, and I didn't have a little bit of that feeling......"
"Alas, she's so stupid. I couldn't think about it, so I jumped like this! ”
Xiaoyong cried like a child and lay on my shoulder.
"She later learned that I often talked to you, and she also knew about that time, you introduced your cousin to me...... It was when we ate at a western restaurant, she was actually on the other side, staring at us. She put all her hatred on you, big brother, and attributed my ignorance to her and my indifference to her, alas! In fact, all of this is my own making! Ever since I saw that girl in the elevator, I have lost my soul and have no feeling for all the girls around me. And her, not to mention, I even hate her very much, and every time I retreat from her, the more she feels that you are a hindrance from the eldest brother, and the more she hates you......"
"The night before she committed suicide, she called me many times, but I didn't answer. The next morning, I made several calls, and finally, I simply muted the phone and put it aside. So, big brother, you called, and I didn't hear it. She may have thought about calling you when she saw that I didn't answer the phone, and I don't know where she got your number, alas, I really regret it, I hate myself so much! ”
"Big brother, the truth of the matter is like this, you must forgive me, it's me who is wrong. I'll make up for you. I've killed a life...... I...... I...... Woohoo......"
"Woo ......"
I let out a deep sigh and looked helplessly at the anguished young man, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The moonlight outside the window came in, projecting on the ground, suffocating pale.
